概要

Gavin Higgins is a composer working with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Three Choirs Festival and many other ensembles and projects.

Wind, brass and percussion are central to Gavin’s orchestral music. He says he loves the mix of colours available in orchestras now, and that some composers can be over-timid when orchestrating music for brass. Gavin describes being influenced by his own time playing in a brass band, and the music of Stravinsky.

Gavin wrote a concerto grosso for brass band and orchestra for the BBC Proms in 2022. He talks us through the background of the piece. Gavin says it’s been performed lots since, more than much of his chamber music.

Gavin takes us through the process of collaborating with librettist (and Horrid Henry author) Francesca Simon when writing operas. He says he finds setting poetry much more difficult than a bespoke libretto. Gavin also discusses working alongside choreographers when writing for ballet.
